"Commonly in the vehicle business, a facelift presents shallow visual changes that frequently obliterate the first aim of the vehicle's plan subject. With the new model year Polestar 2, we rather went underneath the surface and overhauled significant tech and mechanical parts of the electric drivetrain.This is the best Polestar 2 yet, and with the refreshed front plan with the new SmartZone, the most attractive one, as well," says Polestar Chief, Thomas Ingenlath.Polestar 2 originally entered the profoundly cutthroat premium EV market in 2019, mixing Scandinavian plan and fantastic convenience with fun driving qualities and a devotion to manageability. It was the primary vehicle on the planet to highlight an infotainment framework controlled by Android Car operating system with Google worked in, an encounter that proceeds to advance and stand out.This novel blend of characteristics immediately made Polestar 2 a client number one, accessible in 27 business sectors universally and having outperformed the 100,000 unit creation mark in late 2022.The SmartZone makes its presentation on Polestar 2, connoting the shift from breathing to seeing and mirroring the cutting edge nature of Polestar vehicles. Like on Polestar 3, the SmartZone has a portion of the vehicle's most significant dynamic security highlights, including the forward looking camera and mid-range radar.

The 20-inch manufactured composite wheels in the Exhibition Pack have been refreshed to adjust Polestar 2 in its sportiest articulation with that of Polestar 3.
New engines, refined ride and back tire drive.Cutting edge electric engines and inverters are fitted to all Polestar 2 variations, offering significant expansions in both proficiency and execution. Single-engine variations are currently back tire driven, controlled by a recently evolved long-lasting magnet engine and silicon carbide inverter. The new engine has a power result of up to 220 kW (expanded from 170 kW) and is streamlined for greatest productivity and high force (490 Nm, up from 330 Nm) to additional increment the unique exhibition of the vehicle. The 0-100 km/h run time has been diminished by as much as 1.2 seconds, down to 6.2 seconds.
The double engine form presently has a back drive predisposition that increments driving delight and execution because of a totally re-adjusted drivetrain arrangement and force proportion. The new back engine is the essential drive source, upheld on the front hub by another offbeat engine. This empowers higher all out framework result of 310 kW and 740 Nm (expanded from the first 300 kW and 660 Nm), unfathomably further developed footing, more noteworthy in general effectiveness and better execution - 0-100 km/h is accomplished in 4.5 seconds. Supporting productivity gains, the front engine can now be withdrawn totally when not required. At the point when the driver needs more power, the front engine reconnects right away and consistently.
Up to 350 kW are accessible with the discretionary Presentation Pack, and a 0-100 km/h run time as low as 4.2 seconds. The expansion in power, execution and driving satisfaction is likewise accessible to buy as a downloadable over-the-air execution programming redesign for any qualified Long reach Double engine vehicles.
"Changing from front-to back tire drive in the single-engine variations, and once again adjusting the force proportion in the double engine variation for an expanded back tire drive feel, lifts the Polestar 2 driving experience to an unheard of level," says Joakim Rydholm, Head of Frame Improvement at Polestar. "The refreshed Polestar 2 is a considerably more fun loving and spry vehicle, holding its conservativeness and complete feeling of control, while simultaneously turning out to be more experienced with added solace."Better reach and faster charging
All Polestar 2 variants, in many business sectors, highlight overhauled lithium-particle batteries, with a positive effect on productivity and limit as well as charging times. Long-range forms presently include 82 kWh batteries from CATL with 27 modules. The battery for standard-range variants holds a limit of 69 kWh with 24 modules, and is currently provided by LG Chem.The refreshed batteries benefit from an overhauled battery separate unit, redesigned busbars and further developed cell science - empowering quicker energizing paces of to 205 kW DC for long-range batteries and 135 kW for the standard-range battery.
Range enhancements are active for all variants because of the bigger and further developed batteries, and the streamlining of force conveyance from the more remarkable engines.The front engine detach capability on the Long reach Double engine variation is especially successful at expanding range, which is currently up to 592 km WLTP, a huge increment of 105 km.
The Standard reach Single engine adaptation is presently equipped for up to 518 km WLTP, an increment of 40 km, and the Long reach Single engine variation can now accomplish up to 635 km WLTP, an increment of 84 km.

More execution with lower influence.Regardless of the bigger batteries, all the more impressive engines, longer reach and really astonishing execution, fossil fuel byproducts for adaptations with the new 82 kWh battery have descended by 1.1 tons to 5.9 tons per vehicle (beforehand 7 tons for each vehicle), on account of further developed cell science. A full life cycle evaluation (LCA) is arranged later in 2023.
Reexamined standard hardware increments esteem.
Standard gear in Polestar 2 has been changed to increment generally speaking worth as well as comfort. Driver Mindfulness highlights are presently standard, including Vulnerable side Data Framework (BLIS) with controlling help, Cross Traffic Alert with brake backing, and Back Crash Advance notice and Moderation, alongside the 360-degree encompass view camera and programmed diminishing outside mirrors. The remote telephone charger is currently likewise standard on all forms.
The model year 2024 Polestar 2 is accessible to arrange in European business sectors, with additional business sectors to follow. First conveyances are normal in the second from last quarter of 2023. Evaluating begins from EUR 50,190.
